Marinated Cod Fillets W Potato Scales Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix well & set aside.
• Remove any skin from fish fillets. Place fillets in a shallow dish & pour the marinade over them. Cover & refrigerate at least 4-6 hrs or overnight.
• When ready to assemble dish, preheat oven to 400°F.
• Drain marinade from fish fillets & reserve. Pat top side of fish fillets dry w/paper towels & place them in 9x13 in baking dish sprayed w/PAM.
• Using the slicing blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a very sharp knife ... slice the potatoes into uniformly thin slices no thicker than 1/8-inch.
• Overlap potato slices on the surface of the fish fillets & drizzle reserved marinade over the "potato scales".
• Bake fish fillets (uncovered) for 20-25 minutes or till tender (If the potatoes & fish appear to be done & you want a crisper texture or browner color, put the fillets under your broiler for a cpl of minutes).
• NOTES: 1) The thickness of the fillets & potato slices + the tendency of oven temps to vary can cause cooking times to vary as well -- 2) Although written for the use of cod, IMO other white fish varieties will also work well (sole, flounder, snapper, haddock, etc) -- 3) Patting the tops of the fillets dry is very important as it prevents the potato slices from slipping out of position once cooking begins.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until tender, 10 minutes. Drain.
• Combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise and relish in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, sliced celery, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; toss. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl. Put the breadcrumbs in another bowl. Season the fish with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dip each piece in the egg whites, then dredge in the breadcrumbs, pressing to coat. Transfer to a rack set over a baking sheet.
• Coat the fish on both sides with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown and just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Top the potato salad with celery leaves. Serve with the fish and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Trim 1 to 2 inches off thinner (belly) side of salmon fillets so that remaining fillets have a more even thickness. Reserve the belly strips for another use. You will now have 2 more square-shaped pieces of salmon fillet. Cut each fillet into 4 roughly equal-size pieces for a total of 8 pieces.
• Arrange fish, skin side down, on a baking sheet (or 2 dinner plates). Season with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Scrub potatoes well. Cut several 1/16-inch-thick slices lengthwise from wider side of 1 potato with slicer (discard outer piece or pieces that are all peel). Stack slices of potato and cut out as many rounds as possible with cookie cutter.
• Dip potato rounds, one at a time, in butter and lay slices on top of one piece of fish in an overlapping pattern (to resemble fish scales), covering surface completely. Continue cutting and stacking a few potato slices at a time and cutting and applying potato "scales" to fish in batches, until tops of all pieces of fish are coated. Lightly brush any remaining butter over scales, and chill until butter is firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with foil.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers (dip a corner of a fish fillet into skillet to test; it should sizzle). Add 2 to 3 pieces of fish, potato sides down, to skillet. Cook until potatoes are golden brown and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Carefully turn fish over using 2 spatulas and cook until skin is golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer fillets (again using 2 spatulas), skin sides down, to sheet pan. Brown remaining fillets.
• Roast fish in oven until just cooked through, 4 to 8 minutes (depending on thickness; a possible visual clue-the better quality the salmon, the less likely you'll see it-is when the white albumin in the fish exudes from the fish and begins to set).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a large, rectangular baking dish.
• Place the fish in the prepared dish. Arrange potato and onion slices around and on top. Pour enough milk over top to just barely cover. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Dot butter over top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes, checking frequently and adding more milk if necessary. Serve in large bowls.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with garlic, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes in a single layer, cut side down. Bake, tossing potatoes once, until beginning to brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub fillets with remaining teaspoon oil; season all sides with salt and pepper.
• Remove baking sheet from oven. Add tomatoes and olives to potatoes; stir to combine. Push vegetable mixture to one side; place fillets flat on baking sheet, next to vegetables. Return to oven, and roast until fish is cooked through and potatoes are brown and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer fish and vegetables to serving platter. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges if desired.
